Each year, more than 67,000 workers and do-it-yourselfers are injured by table saws, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission , resulting in more than 33,000 emergency room visits and 4,000 amputations. At an average cost of $35,000 each, these accidents lead to more than $2.3 billion in societal costs annually including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.the “Deulen Safety Fence”

• Safely makes small rips on the Table saw• Attaches to any existing fence with two screws• For use with: Table saw, Band saw, Jointer, Shaper, Router Table, Radial arm saw (in ripping position.• Prevents kickback• Weighs less than ten pounds• Moves from one tool to another in one minute• Hands never get close to the blade.

If this was needed to make these cuts and I don’t know how much it costs but would rather have a second hand power feeder myself . On the other hand looks like a quite easy project for a home machine shop come woodworker to make even improved upon as the little plastic Perhaps perspex wheels look quite flimsy a good idea though. So long as my Deulen does not charge diamond encrusted prices it should be quite a good choice for people with a sense of safety conscience utmost in in their mind.I myself with my parkinson problems tend to be safety aware at all times.Alistair

I cut small strips on a lintype saw/trimmer. I cut guitarsaddles and things like that on it. It has a lengthlimit on the clamp of about 6” I think. It can be setfor exceptionally narrow rips within that lengthlimitation though.

Guys, There will be a new video answering all of your questions but in the meantime I’ll answer a few. The board length doesn’t matter because the driver that pushes the wood turns up inside the fence and will come out via crank handle once the end of the board passes where the driver comes out. It can be used for cutting any project except sheet goods.

I just re-read the description. This is not for general use, but for ripping small pieces, right?

length of cutseems to be determinedby where the push shoe isand the front of the saw blade

What you guys are looking at is the prototype, not the real deal. The finished product is heavy duty anodized extruded aluminum. I made it much beefier than the engineers at S.A.P.A recommended. My first 250 extrusions won’t be done until early August so I have to wait do do photos or videos

I was looking at Sawstop. They make a very good saw but, that doesn’t help me make small rips so I’ve been working on this for three years solid. Bob Hunter editor of “Wood” magazine asked me if I could figure out a way two years ago and here it is!

I like this “hands off” approach. No hands near the blade, no cuts possible!

i love this innovation. did i read right… it will be hand-cranked? not electrical motor driven? I could see a use for both versions.i’ll keep watch on this product.I could see a more “stout” version of the shoe being more substantial to go beyond just small strips.
